ENGINEERPZ-60 Screw Removal Pliers, 193mm Long Nose Pliers with screw extracting serrated jaws

The ENGINEER PZ-60 Screw Removal Pliers are a total lifesaver when it comes to removing stripped or damaged screws. As someone who's used various tools over the years, I was blown away by how well these pliers worked. They’re from the same manufacturer as Vampliers, so you can expect the same high quality, and it shows in the design and performance. The jaws have vertical and horizontal serrations that grip even the most stubborn screws securely, making it easy to twist them out without slipping.What really sets the PZ-60 apart is the ability to grab screws from the top, which most traditional pliers can't do. It's perfect for smaller screws or in situations where you don’t have a lot of clearance. The ergonomic handles provide a comfortable grip, allowing you to apply a good amount of force without straining your hands.Whether you’re a professional or just like to tinker with DIY projects, the PZ-60 pliers are an essential addition to your toolbox. They offer precision, durability, and that reliable grip you need to tackle tough screw extractions.

Excellent pliers. Multiple uses. Precision manufacturing. Well thought out. Engineer makes the best pliers available. It’s not even close. Between Engineers and IPS, you should be able to fulfill your plier needs. Mix in some Channellocks and you’re definitely all set.

ENGINEER NEJI-SAURUS green handle pliers are identical to Vampliers. These are Japanese and made for the Japanese market. Vampliers have red handles with English instructions and cost significantly more.You get what you pay for. These aren’t a substitute for true high end (SnapOn, KNIPEX) needle TIP pliers, but they are excellent needle NOSE and if they’re your only pair, then they will do what you need.They’re the only pair I’ve ever used that have large, aggressive teeth that actually mesh perfectly- the result is that they grab anything you put in there- even thin wire.There IS ONE DISASVANTAGE. The tip has two cutouts intended to grab the head of small screws. This feature is useful, but it makes the needle nose gapped and for this reason, you may not be able to use these as effectively in that one application- it’s a trade off in my opinion and an acceptable one. Needle TIP pliers come to a sharp point and are used to grab tiny pieces in confined spaces. These are not meant for that. These are meant for small parts big enough for blunted needle NOSE with gapped teeth. I personally need both pliers, but now reach for these first due to the extreme serrations of the perfectly meshed jaws behind the nose. Awesome pliers.These are the least amount of savings of the Engineer vs Vampliers marketing scheme- the best deal is with the linesman style pliers, which were literally 35% cheaper in the green handled line. I compared both side by side and can assure you that they’re made in the same factory from the same steel on the same machinery and have the same exact packaging with the difference being in the translation and red handles on the Vampliers. That’s it.I own the tiny ESD electronics pliers, needle nose, and the linesman. There’s an intermediate pair i returned because after close examination, I concluded that the other 3 pliers will cover all my needs and that the intermediate pair were redundant. If this is your only set of pliers, but those as well. If you want to try just one pair, the linesman are great, but these needle nose are more useful.I normally use KNIPEX German made pliers(the best) and SnapOn tools. I have used Channel Lock and Craftsman in the past and they’re garbage compared to Vampliers/Engineer and KNIPEX.KNIPEX are the best, but these Engineer pliers are very close in quality and serve a special purpose, such as removing stripped machine or sheet metal screws. I use these on circuit boards because manufacturers like to fill screw heads with glue, hot glue, loctite, super glue, you name it- to prevent tampering or 3rd party repair. These pay for themselves fairly quick if you’re a mechanic or technician.

This was exactly what I needed after stripping a screw on a clip of a flashlight.

Outstanding quality!

I thought these pliers were a great idea..and maybe they are. They're beautifully made and have a nice smooth action. The jaws look very grippy.HOWEVER, it appears that carbon steel composite deck screws (like Trex) are even harder than the jaws of these pliers. Buggered up the jaws on the first try. Didn't try a second time, hoping these will still be useful for garden variety sheet metal screws.

build quality is better than I thought

I used these many years ago. This pair work just as well to remove striped screws and whatnot.
